Shelf queen KI-46 III Kai

This is one I've been poking at since last spring.

I did add a fair bit of wires and things to the back compartment, tried to show some here but it didn't come out that well.

I'm assuming that is the 1/48 Tamiya kit? How do you like it so far?

Yes, the Tamiya kit. Very nice kit! The only issue I had so far was trimming a couple greenhouse pieces so they would fit. Other than that its been perfect!

I highly recommend it!
 
Well, cool . At least it's a step nose Dinah . I would hate to be building the exact same thing.

Good start :coolio

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Thanks everyone!

I actually like the look of the Dinah with the rounded nose Christian. Looks more areodynamic and sleek. I bought this when Great Models had their close out sale.


How did this become a shelf queen??? Nice work keep it up.


Just got shifted aside from other projects on the go Adam. I know, not really a kit to lay up on the shelf. No troubles with it, just had other things on the go.
 
Here fiddling with mine . Trying to figure out what Eduard had in mind ( :rotf ) As usualit,s murky at best.

Guess I'll have to buy that crystal ball someday.

Will build the step nose one someday but please keep posting. Maybe I can get some insight.

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Just a little update....gave this one a shot of silver after some sanding. Might have to go another round though on just a few small areas. The fit is quite good.



but I did get the engines and props done!

 
It does have some sleek lines to it! It would be fun to do one of these up in a racing livery. I've been thinking somewhat along those lines and I've decided to make this a fictional Australian captured bird. This won't be to everyone's liking but I have a bit of a plan. So, on with the duck egg blue undercoat!



I have some nice extra decals in my decal stash.

 
Hey, It's good to see this one back.....Just thinking that makes mine a shelf queen as well.


The interior looks quite good in comparison to the 1/72 Hmmmmm :vmad some jealousy here .

Keep up the good work. Should be interesting.

Not sure if you're aware but the bubble version was a very fast airframe for it's time :good:

Yeah, I remember reading that somewhere, probably online. It would have been neat to see one in action!
 
Yes it is a very nice kit, I built the recce version years ago, and wouldn't mind another a go at it. Very nice work so far.

:v
